About Kurt Wisniewski

Sales & business development executive with 20+ years experience leading high performing teams and building effective sales strategies for global food & beverage brands. My core areas of expertise are franchise & licensing, complex sales & contract negotiation, real estate site selection & store development, creating operational efficiencies and C-level relationship cultivation. I add value to organizations by confidently exercising an entrepreneurial mindset to identify and win new business opportunities that increase profitability and drive sustainable growth. I believe that positive results come by committing to putting the needs of other people first - whether it\'s my customer or my team.It\'s important to demonstrate a healthy work/life balance. When I\'m not traveling or supporting my team and customers, I enjoy spending time with my wife & daughters, volunteering as a guest lecturer and rooting for Michigan State football.#GoGreenGoWhite
